    My 4.5 month old airedale drives me crazy because while she will heal, sit and lay down but but second she sees a person she breaks training. I am now having her sit when she sees people but I am hoping this will get better as she gets older

    uh that Puppy is gonna be a massive vet bill... that walk is not good... I have a German Shepard and my puppy never walked like that and he is a pure bred straight back GSD... I did the same for socialization though although not as long, rather multiple short ones that early and then extended the time

    How old is that dog? Looks like he have a hip problem already

    • @theoneandonly3435
      @theoneandonly3435 Рік тому +4

      Yes and no. The breed starts with very low hips in young ages wich should grow out when 1yr old wich leads to a hip problem when its not growing to normal. If this dog is 8months or younger he could very well be fine. 10 months we can only hope its gonna be ok but after that i think its permanent

      If its not a straight back gsd then itll probably have issues.

    You're doing all the right things training that pup, but that's not necessarily the best example of "SOCIALIZATION."
    I breed and train GSD's for over 30 years also World Championship FCI competitor way in 97' and many other trials, pet training etc.
    When you socialize your pup, let him/her actively going around exploring VS doing obedience. Different mind set in a dog doing it that way and better results for socializing not doing obedience.

    Guys.. his hips are fine. Some gsd puppies just waddle when they walk.
    Thats clearly not a backyard bred dog. Doesnt look like a german showline and its 1000% not an american/Canadian show breed, which means theres very strict breeding regulations and they have to pass hip checks and multiple health tests before being allowed to have puppies to ensure the working lines genetics stay good.
    He'll walk normally in a couple of months when he grows into his big ass feet and legs lol

      First sign up for a simple obedience class, will give your GSD socialization too.
      Those initial classes last a few months and are not terribly expensive.
      After that you'll have a better Ida of what your dogs strengths are and you can decide where to go from there.
      Most of the work is going to come from you, you are the master.
      You cannot expect to sign up for a class and that is it. That is only pointing you to the right way for you to put the hours in the correct way.

    should there be any concern as his tail is down?

    • @nostringsattached93
      @nostringsattached93 Рік тому

      Well, you should always heed the body language of the canine… so anything they present should be met with concern of at least deciphering it’s meaning correctly.
      Here, it seems to me that the language is of faint submissive nature and heavily focused behavior. The tail isn’t tucked, it’s just that it is naturally carried a bit lower in GSDs and some GSD mixes.
      But even a tucked tail can mean a myriad of factors depending on the dog and it surprisingly is not always a negative communication as most commonly think it is.
      For majority of canines as a whole, I feel it would actually be a bit worrisome for one loose leash walking to carry their tail high, even more-so if off-leash in heel command… that’s because those commands/expectations are ones in which the dogs movement is being controlled and for a dog to turn over control of movement is nothing short of submission; If they carry their tail high during that process, it’s not saying “I’m focused on what I’m expected to do.”, it’d be more like saying “I’m not paying much attention and have other things in mind at the moment.”
      The latter thought process and body language is not conducive to the act of obedience and indicates a risk of the dog bolting, lagging behind or falling victim to distraction/jump-scare/prey drive/etc.

      Do it now. My biggest regret was not learning what proper socialization means with my GSD. He's 6 and just is overwhelmed by big crowds. Always was told socialization meant other dogs, no one told me crowds would've been a better route 😐

    • @nostringsattached93
      @nostringsattached93 Рік тому +1

      I think the goal would be desensitization training through exposure. There are many good videos and articles about various methods. out there. Just remember that the best result is indifference (not caring one way or another); Some dogs will never feel fully at ease or “enjoy” loudness and insanity around them, but you can usually nurture the act of indifference with desensitization.
